Cinematography Analysis (20 pts) Cinematography studies the language of the camera. How does the camera use focus, film speed, frame, and movement to speak to us? Minimizing the cues from mise-en-scene and sound, examine how a cinematographer communictes with the camera alone. 1. Watch “Who Wins This Scene?” for an example of cinematography analysis. 2. View the three video clips attached to this assignment. They can also be found in the class notebook in the content library. CHOOSE one for your analysis. 3. Write a 500-700 word essay analyzing how the camera works to convey relationships, power dynamics, points of view, mood, tension, tone, and the revelation of information. Consider cinemagraphic techniques : Tone and color palette Film speed : fast motion/slow motion Depth of focus Frame Camera angles Camera height Camera distance Reframing Off-screen space Fixed Camera: pan/tilt Tracking Shot/Dolly Handheld/Steadicam Tips: Watch your chosen film clip a few times to get a clear sense of the relationship between characters and between characters and their settings. What’s the mood of the scene? Does the mood change? How does the camera capture it? Your essay should focus on small, specific details. For instance, it’s not enough to say “Lector is in a prison cell.” You need to explain how the camera reveals Lector’s relationship to his prison cell; e.g. we know that Lector feels at home in the cell because the medium long shot reveals that he is standing up and totally at ease and the medium close up reinforces this by showing his face in a relaxed expression. Choose 3-4 most important cinemagraphic details and discuss them well rather than trying to cram every possible cinemagraphic technique into a 500-word paper. the sources  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiK4IlLv-KeiBJzLWIl8xKUGW5R2qeZFY

Q1: Review the historical determinants of the modern world and browse the galleries and images of Renaissance art on websites. What role did the invention of linear perspective in art play in helping to create the modern world? What aesthetic components, forms and themes do you observe in the Renaissance paintings and sculptures? Q2: Another historical marker of modernity is the emergence of capitalism and global commerce. As we can see in the images, the invention of linear perspective placed the individual at the center. This helped to create a relationship between the individual viewer and the outside world which became an object to be observed and ultimately controlled. This distinction also reinforces difference and distinction between self and other. How do the art works presented this week reveal relationships of power and inequality, e.g., between male and female, Europeans and colonized peoples? Global trade expanded during the Renaissance. What evidence do we find of trade, commodities and the celebration of moneymaking in Renaissance art? Q3: In the Middle Ages, the Christian religious view of human beings as sinful, fallen creatures who needed the Church to achieve redemption was dominant in European culture. In the Renaissance, how did humanists like Pico della Mirandola reorient the idea of humankind? How does Michelangelo’s famous Sistine Chapel ceiling reflect this view? As printing developed, what role did books, e.g., the Bible, play in giving ordinary people a greater sense of power over their own destinies?
